I've gotta wonder if despite all the promotion in Japan, e.g. going their TWICE, before MOS was released and at the end, the numbers aren't as high for that very reason, it came at the end, I'm sure there's some valid reasons for why the movie was released 2.5 months later, but I think it really hurt them. Hopefully in 2015, the releases won't be as spread and piracy won't be rampant.

The "anime" type fighting should have been a great draw in Japan, but for some reason the box office numbers aren't reflecting that.
